Freedom from Official Corruption as a Human Right

By Matthew Murray and Andrew Spalding

 

FREEDOM FROM OFFICIAL CORRUPTION ! ! !

 

International law does not currently regard an act of official corruption as the violation of a

human right. But as recent steps by Chinese leaders, political shifts in India, the EuroMaidan

in Ukraine, and the Arab Spring all reflect, an international consensus is emerging that corruption

is a pervasive and pernicious social problem, structural obstacle to economic growth and

threat to global security. Governments and international bodies have widely adopted principles,

laws and tools for countering corruption both domestically and transnationally. Still, the anticorruption

architecture is not working as planned whether to assure effective enforcement, induce

voluntary changes in official behavior, or protect the victims. In order to place anti-corruption

norms upon a stronger conceptual foundation, prioritize anti-corruption enforcement as a matter

of policy, and focus that enforcement on improving the lives of corruption’s victims, we argue for

acknowledging freedom from official corruption as a fundamental and inalienable human right.
